Editorial Excerpt: From 1999: "Perhaps it is wrong of both new and old school RPGers to be going against each other in such an angry manner. What really matters is whether or not the game is enjoyable."

Ten years ago, RPGamer had its first editorial. Honestly, I wasn't really around then, so I don't know the details, but our first archived editorial is dated 8/20/1997. So join me in wishing the column a happy birthday or anniversary or whatever you wish a column. Hopefully, it will still be alive and kicking in ten more years. Who knows?

Today I offer stats and some editorials from the first four years of the section. I won't go into much detail about the editorials, because they speak for themselves. Like them or not, they give you a look into what was being talked about those years ago. Here are some stats of interest... to people that enjoy meaningless statistics.
